Zebra

They look so sweet My chicks bite too - hard . I hope they gonna get used to me one day...

Hello, so this is me I don't have any pics with me&budgies together, so I'm sending me&dog . It's at my friend's house in Wales - not actually my dog

My new cage - its built from pine and galvanized steel, the bottom is made from compressed board and has a bottom tray for easier cleaning . The roof also opens up totally. The cage is 100cm high, 180cm long and 70cm wide. I've bought some swings and toys, but not much, I want them to have some space to fly :angel1: I'm just waiting for my 3 chicks to get out of the box and then I'm gonna move all of them to their new cage.

It´s okay I just didn´t really understand what you mean. I don´t think it would be good to tame him too much - so he would depend on me a lot, because I´m at work the whole day and he would be probably lonely and unhappy. But if necessary (if he´ll need to be separated) I´ll try to be with him as much as possible And by the way I´ve chosen their names already : The first one is Mayo, the second one Juli (short for Jullie or Julien) and the third one Bambi

Very cute babies :fear , I really like the big one´s colour

Beautiful photos, she looks like an angel :angel1:

I´ve taken some more pics of my growing "chickens" today . And I´ve looked on the internet for some Aboriginal words (because I though that was the language you wrote) and I found some nice ones : - MALIYAN, WANTHALA - Eaglehawk - YULUWIRRI - Rainbow I´ve got no idea how to pronounce it, but I´ll figure it out Here are the new photos (not very clear ones ): My oldest one The 2nd one And the little one

These names sound great, is it Australian language? Issa is nice name, how do you pronounce it?

No, we didn't give them names yet. I was afraid to lose them (2 first ones died). But we are already thinking about the names. I think the oldest one deserves a nice one - he survived his dad's attack. There must be a reason for it :angel1: Do you have any ideas for their names?

Here are some new photos of my chicks. I´ve just taken the two biggest ones out for a quick check. It was so cool to hold them, they are so warm and cute This is the oldest one, his toes are shorter on one foot only, but both ends of his wings were bitten off. So I don´t think he will ever fly. But we´ll see...:angel1: He´ll probably be a flightless chicken budgie :hap: But I love him anyway This is the second one. He looks okay. Here are all 3 of them Yesterday I´ve taken the last egg away, it wasn´t fertile.

The oldest one is 13 days old (the 2nd one is 11 and the 3rd one is 9 days old). I'll wait till they are a bit older though. I would like to start handling just the oldest one for now. Thanks for a tip, I'll make sure I don't keep him away for longer than 10 mins

I'm happy to know that budgies can be okay evan without some toes. I think he is going to be okay, I could see him moving his "shorter" toes, so I think he will learn to hold on a stick. I would like to start taking him out of the box to check him properly and to start taming him. Do you have any advise? I've never done it, so is there anything I need to know? The female is not tamed much, so do you think she will handle it? Its actually quite scary for me I don't want to hurt him more When I take him out I'll try to take a picture of the wing and foot

Thanks a lot :dbb1: I think I will wait for him to grow more, so I can see how good or bad is it. When can I start taking him out from the box to start taming him? He is 11 days old and has fluff and his feathers are starting to grow.I think it´s going to be better to tame him, in case that he´s not able to fly or something. If the other birds are nasty to him, I´d put him to his own cage. I hope he´s going to be okay, he is so cute Where can I learn how to clip wings? Is it difficult?

This cage is ready for my budgies when our 3 chicks get out of the box. Now they´re living in quite a small cage I can´t wait to see them in this cage for the first time - they´ll love it !!!

Thank you, I hope someone can help me with this. I´m starting to think that I shouldn´t breed my budgies. I don´t have enough experience. But I´ll try my best

3 of my chicks are growing nicely, the oldest one is now 11 days old. Bud there is still last egg, which should of hatched 5 days ago. How long do you leave the last egg in the box? I haven´t candeled the egg, I don´t think I would know what to look for really , but 5 days is a long time, isn´t it? Can the egg rot and be dangerous for the chicks? And does anyone have experince with a damaged chick? It sounds strange I know, but my oldest baby has shorter toes on his left foot and I´m afraid the left wing is missing the end piece as well :ausb: , I think his dad might have bitten them off when he was still in the cage with them (he killed one of the babies, so I separated him, as the advice given). Do you think there will be any problems with it? The baby seems healthy, so I would like to keep it I would really appreciate some feedback

Hi, I´m breeding my budgies for the first time - they´ve laid 6 eggs and 5 of them hatched.

I´ve just spoken to my boyfriend and he said that our cage is made from galvanised steel wire mesh. So I think its safe, isn´t it? :hap:

I´ve read the discussion about wires. I´ve never heard about this risk. I´m not really sure how safe is the wire we´ve used. I think I´ll go to the shop and ask them

I took this photo before I´ve made the door .I´ve just taken a new picture with the door and everything. And you can actually open the top part too. There is a swing, a big ladder, a bath, 2 small bells, toys... I just hope the chicks will be alright, so they can see it too

It looks very nice. I think I´m going to try to make something too - but I´ll rather wait for the summer, it´s about -5 here We´ve got a homemade cage waiting for our new born chicks (and their parents of course). My boyfriend built the most of it, but I was helping Its 180x70x100, I hope its big enough for them

Thats so cool. I had to wake up my boyfriend to show him

You can have George if you want :hap: - he is very naughty. He is separated from his family, because he was biting his babies. He actually killed the oldest one. I hope they´ll be okay now. He´s just angry and desperatelly trying to get back to them, naughty boy! I was asking for help in forum "budgies behaviour". :sport:

Hi everybody, I just found this cool website and decided to register. Excuse my spelling, english is my second language. I've got two budgies: female Giny and male George. They fighted a lot when I bought them, but now they're having their first babies. There were six eggs in the box, two babies have already hatched, unfortunately one of them died - I don't really know the reason, but I think it's because George goes to the box sometimes and Giny pushes him out. So they might squash the baby. I hope the rest of them are going to be okay. If anyone can give me some advise I'll be very happy. Or write your experience with breeding budgies. Thanks a lot
